Save And Grow In Practice: Maize · Rice · Wheat- A Guide To Sustainable Cereal Production
Abstract:
By 2050, world annual demand for maize, rice and wheat is expected to reach some 3.3 billion tonnes, or 800 million tonnes more than 2014’s record combined harvest. Much of the increase in production will need to come from existing farmland. But one-third of that land is degraded, and farmers’ share of water is under growing pressure from other sectors. Climate change could have catastrophic effects on wheat yields and reduce maize yields in Africa by 20 percent. In Asia, rising sea levels threaten rice production in major river deltas. The potential for increases in cereal production is further constrained by stagnating yields and diminishing returns to high-input production in major river deltas. The potential for increases in cereal production is further constrained by stagnating yields and diminishing returns to high-input production systems. #CEREALPRODUCTION #FARMLAND #FARMERS #CLIMATECHANGE #PRODUCTIONSYSTEM #SDGs
